Reader K.W. suggests adding Michael Crichton’s State of Fear to the climate-realist reading list. True, true — big oversight on my part. Crichton’s book not only presents many of the scientific issues in an approachable way, it includes an annotated biboliography.

Another oversight was leaving off the book that Crichton, in that annotated bibliography, described as the first book on the environment “that made me sit up and pay serious attention”: Peter Huber’s Hard Green. In retrospect, I would also include Huber’s book with Mark Mills on energy, The Bottomless Well.
